About the company

Black Geotechnical Pty Ltd has been providing geotechnical investigation, design, reporting & testing for infrastructure, commercial, industrial and recreational projects since 1985.

We specialise in helping clients with challenging projects.  Our team of engineers have an excellent understanding of engineering geology and soil and rock mechanics together with extensive practical experience in the field.  We also continually conduct research and development into specialist testing techniques and their interpretation for use in the latest design methods.   

While we tackle a broad range of geotechnical issues, we have recently been focused on the following types of projects:

• Climate change engineering problems

• Slope stability

• Soft compressible soils

• Preloading design and monitoring

• Ground improvement of deep filled sites

• Specialist geotechnical testing

• Pile design allowing for setup

We are based in Melbourne but conduct work everywhere in Australia and internationally.  To date projects have been conducted in Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia, Western Australia, Northern Territory, Tasmania, New Zealand, Malaysia, China, Antarctica and Fiji.
